IIRC this happens when you "move" the message from the PF store to the
"equivalent" imap store (all inside the same DB, so it shouldn't
really be anything but setting/changing a few attributes)... Trust M$
to bork that completely:). Why they insist on making useless
"almost-working swiss army knives" for every useless piece of SW....
Sigh.

Apart from ditching it?:-)... Not that I know:-D Then again, that's
kind of a reflex answer on my part.... I'd probably have to ask around
with our M-Sexchange server "gurus" come monday, to be sure:).
